I agree great portrait. Considering his history, I am sure there was a better chance the engraver had seen the emperor in person there than about...
Yes sir. I will weigh them when I get home. I just bought these at a local shop at lunch who holds any ancient coins for me.
I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks on how to attribute 6-8 mm tiny silver coins? I just bought three of these coins. Two are...
Because all mintmarks were hand struck into the dies at the branch mints, and they had different size punches? That is always the explanation I...
Yes, same reason they suspended proof set sales and removed the mintmarks from coins. Because, of course, it wasn't Gresham's Law of devaluing our...

I somewhat disagree. If none of his relatives are a coin collector, I see nothing wrong with having it sold off. Sold off old collections are the...
This is what I always worry about with errors. How do these collectors stop from being scammed by intentional errors by unscrupulous mint...
Nah, if Doug and Lehigh ever saw eye to eye on an issue, THAT would be a sure sign of the coming Apocalypse. :D
Since its the $10 bill, one of the lesser utilized notes, I would guess 8 months after first release. If it were a $2 or a $50, my guess would be...
